I have been going to a pond near my house after work around 6:30pm (sunset is at 8:07pm). I live in Olive branch Mississippi. The temperature is in the high 80s to mid 90s. The water is a stained green with maybe a foot of transparency (Maybe less) but it doesn't seem muddy. I do not have a boat so I am forced to bank fish. I measured as far out as I could and the water seemed to be about 3 1/2 feet deep. I'm almost positive it gets a lot deeper in the middle. I've caught one fish (maybe a 1lb pound bass) on a Texas rigged senko worm (Black and blue specs). That never worked again. Since, I've tried jigs (Black and blue, dark green/junebug/watermelon mix), chatterbait, rage blades (neon chartreuse) - all rigged with either craw or chunk trailers, crank baits, lipless crank baits, and swim baits (bright chartreuse). I'm new to the forum and I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. I figure the fish are out in the middle in the deepest water but I've also seen huge fish near the bank with my own eyes. Also every time I see a fish in the middle, it's a blow up in the middle. So if they are supposed to be deep during the heat, why are they striking at the top? I'm sure someone can clear this up. It's a loaded question and if it's not how you are supposed to do it, forgive me. Thank you for you help in advance.
